01 / The challenge

What needs to change.

Sofia coordinates a nonprofit that shelters street dogs and organizes responsible adoption. The project needs expanded temporary shelter, qualified veterinary care and food and hygiene through recovery and adoption. Its budget separates infrastructure, care and operations. The goal is to make funding needs and deliverables verifiable to supporters while protecting volunteer and adopter privacy.

connect every contribution to care, shelter and responsible adoption.

Capital is part of the plan. Before seeking funds, the owner organizes the problem, compares alternatives and identifies spending that can be delayed, reduced or met from own resources. The presentation should distinguish verified facts from execution assumptions.

04 / Instrument and rights

Capital has
clear corresponding rights.

Donation, sponsorship or non-return-seeking support

In the nonprofit case, supporting rescue and adoption differs from acquiring equity or receiving interest. The instrument identifies purpose, permitted uses, responsibilities and reporting. Any real debt proposal needs separate assessment of payment source, authority and sustainability; a donation does not imply financial return.

KEZS organizes technology and intermediation. It does not assign a score or decide whether an investor should accept this risk. Diligence is independent and capital may suffer partial or total loss. Applicable providers need to be identified before contracting.

05 / The takeaway

More clarity to
build and assess.

The study shows how a need becomes a budget, stages and criteria. It does not demonstrate approval, completed funding or business results. A real transaction may require structural changes, further information and different terms. The method’s value lies in making questions visible before committing capital.

Integrity and traceability records help preserve versions and confirmed events. They do not replace verification of documents and financial confirmations. Participant privacy should be preserved even when a project presentation is public.

Questions to help
take the next step.

Understand what to prepare, compare and monitor.

What is the first step for this project?

Start by working to connect every contribution to care, shelter and responsible adoption. Connect the purpose to a budget and verifiable milestones before negotiating terms.

Which documents help assessment?

Nonprofit governing documents and authority; Work plan and staged budget; Receipts and execution records. Share only necessary information with authorized participants and verify the submitted version.

Which risks need attention here?

Care costs exceeding budget; Adoptions slower than planned; Insufficient shelter and team capacity. Each funder performs their own assessment; KEZS provides no score or approval guarantee.

Can a newly opened business organize the project?

Yes. The model considers businesses of every size from their first day of registration. Limited history requires other evidence. A project does not guarantee approval or funding availability.

Can the project amount vary?

Planning examples range from R$2,000 to R$20 million. Budgets should reflect actual needs and available own funds. Terms and contributions depend on the transaction and participants.

How do I monitor capital use?

Agree on milestones, responsibilities, documents and metrics. Separate forecasts, available cash and confirmed financial events. Technology supports history without guaranteeing business outcomes or payment.
